If you're interested in moving to the area of Daytona Beach FL, and you're a golfer, you're probably just as interested in the golf courses as you are in the real estate. And even better yet would be a residential golf community, and we have plenty of those. Let's start with what is probably the most well known of all the Daytona Beach golf communities.

LPGA. TheDaytona Beach LPGA residential golf community has two world-class courses. The Champions golf course, designed by Rees Jones and opened to the public in 1994, has natural marsh areas, strategic mounding, numerous expanses of sand bunkers and more, and is playable for all skill levels. Also at LPGA is the Legends golf course which opened to the public in 1998. The Legends golf course, designed by Arthur Hills, offers strategic hazards, rolling greens, tight fairways, and water on more than half the holes.

LPGA is one of the largest communities in the entire Daytona Beach area, with a restaurant, Knickers Bar and Grill, with it's own award-winning chef, a spectacular clubhouse, banquet center, catering and more. LPGA also features multiple subdivisions. Among these many subdivisions there are currently 54 homes on the market with townhouse prices ranging from $129,900 to grand-scale houses at $999,900.

Another residential housing and golf community is Indigo Lakes. Indigo Lakes was one of the first of it's kind in Daytona Beach and is one of the more affordable courses to play. Indigo Lakes also has it's own restaurant, Major Moultries, a pro-shop, clubhouse, banquet center, and wedding packages. Indigo Lakes also has several of it's own subdivisions with condo prices starting at $83,000 and housing prices up to $499,000.

Next on the list of popular Daytona Beach Golf Communities is Pelican Bay. Although Pelican Bay is not the newest of the Daytona Beach golf communities, it is very large, and the most secure community, controlled by security guards at both the East Gate and the West Gate, which are the only entrances to this highly popular community. Pelican Bay also has two golf courses: 1 is open to the public, and 1 is reserved for members only. Pelican Bay also has a fabulous clubhouse, restaurant, tennis courts and more. The main housing section of Pelican Bay consists of homes that are all on either a course, or a canal. This main section is laid out in a large loop that runs from entrance-to-entrance. The different subdivisions all extend from the main loop. Being that Pelican Bay is such a huge community, there are currently 98 homes on the market there. The current asking prices are as follows. The condo prices start from $99,900, and traditional housing prices go up to $497,500.

That's it for the most well-known golf courses in Daytona Beach. And of course, as indicated, these are all residential housing as well as golf communities. The great thing about buying real estate in a golf community is that it's easier to sell your house or condo when you're ready to move. There are many real estate buyers who want to buy a home either on a golf course, or on a lake. Golf communities have both. Many real estate buyers also like communities that have plenty of amenitites like clubhouses, community pools, tennis courts, etc. Most golf course communities have these as well.

This list has only covered the golf communities actually in Daytona Beach itself. Within the next few days, I'll post information on the golf communities in Ormond Beach and Port Orange. And if I have time, I'll include New Smyrna Beach as well, since we wouldn't want to leave out Venetian Bay, with their recently opened golf course!
